§ 2. Appeals to the Commission for All Other Actions

Latest version.

An employee may appeal the results of a classification study, rejection of application,
or the grading of an examination by filing a notice of appeal with the Civil Service
Commission. The notice of appeal must be in writing and filed with the Commission
not later than fourteen calendar days from the date of notice.

A. Contents of Appeals: All appeals to the Commission shall be written. Notices of appeal should include
the following information:

1. The appellant's name, address and telephone number;

2. The name of the appointing authority and/or department/division;

3. A description or summary of the action which is being appealed.

Failure to supply the information listed above may result in dismissal of the appeal.
Prior to dismissing the appeal, the Commission shall attempt to obtain the required
information from the appellant. Appellants shall notify the Commission, in writing,
of any change of address during the pendency of the appeal.

B. Procedure in Classification Appeals: The parties in appeals of classification studies are the employee who is incumbent
in the position, his principal appointive officer, and the authority which conduct
the classification study.

The Commission shall conduct a fact-finding hearing to determine the duties which
are performed by the incumbent in the affected position. The witnesses shall be limited
to the affected employee, his immediate supervisor, a representative of the appointing
authority and the designee of the authority who conducted the classification study
unless there is substantial disparity in their testimony or other reason to believe
their testimony is inaccurate, to be determined by the Commission. Examination of
the witnesses shall be conducted by the Commission, subject to further limited examination
by the parties.

The Commission shall compare the duties performed by the incumbent employee to the
appropriate class specifications and determine the classification which most appropriately
describes the duties performed in the affected position.
